Well. It looks as though my employer has gone missing. I suppose that means I'm out of a job.

...A lot of people seem to have disappeared, hm?

Your employer has been sent home too?

[A sad look fills Diarmuid's eyes.]

So many people to remember when it gets warm enough to do my memorial. Were you close?

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

Close? I don't know about that. But she was quite friendly, and we had several things in common.

[Video]

[smallspot]

What was her name?

[The boy can't help but be curious about if he knew her or not.]

Maybe you should run her shop for her! That way you won't be out of a job and you can keep her work going!

[Diarmuid really doesn't know how this job thing works. He's just a kid, after all...]

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

Her name was Ashe. [ponders] I do not know if I'd be able to take after her line at work. [he was like a secretary! plus, he's a nation, and used to following orders. this whole human job thing is foreign to him]

[Video]

[smallspot]

Ashe? Ashe is Lord September's lady friend! Oh no!

[Diarmuid really needs to stop referring to people like that. It doesn't quite mean what he thinks it does...]

Maybe that is why I haven't seen him lately. I'll have to check on him!

What kind of shop does she have that you can't run it? You're smart! You know lots of things. I'm sure you can do it!

...Sorry. It's hard, I know.

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

[lady friend, huh? England rubs the back of his neck]

She was a healer and herbalist. I know enough about herbs, i suppose, but I've never healed anyone, nor have I practiced the kinds of magic she used.

Video

[unionjackoff]

I suppose it's inevitable. I just wish I knew what the qualifications were for sending someone back home. Or if she was taken somewhere...

[detective_shirogane]

That is unfortunate news.

[Hrm... she already had Mitsuru and Fuuka under her employ, so she wasn't sure she could afford someone else...]

... Have you possibly thought about running your own business?

Video

[drank_the_milk]

I'm pretty sure there's no real way to know.

[Video]

[smallspot]

[Why yes. She is a lady and she is also September's friend, so...she's his lady friend!

Child logic...]

So she was a druid?

[She sure sounds like one to Diarmuid!]

If you only know about the herbs, maybe you can get a partner to help with the healing? You don't have to do all parts of it just because she did! Everyone has their own strengths.

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

[child logic...]

Well, we'll see. Otherwise, I'm sure i could find some place else to work. It's just a bit disorienting.

Video

[unionjackoff]

Have you ever seen anyone get sent back home, miss Akashi?

[video]

[unionjackoff]

...My own business. I'm not sure what I'd do. [amused]

[video]

[detective_shirogane]

The English have always found a way to make their way in the world, have they not?

[Just don't try to introduce opium to Saeng Seong, Kay? No need of a repeat of China...]

Why not a tea shop, for example? Certainly with your expertise...

[Video]

[smallspot]

[Sadly, it's not very logical...]

If you don't think you can do her job, what kind of job to you want? What are you the best at? Do you like animals? Oh...!

[His eyes widen as he remembers something.]

How is your fairy doing?

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

[so many questions! slow down, Dia!]

A-ah... It's fine. Right now, it's playing with Prussia and his little bird. [he looks off-screen for a moment, to watch them. aaaa his cute family]

[video]

[unionjackoff]

There is already a tea shop I frequent regularly. Otherwise, I would have considered that.

[Video]

[smallspot]

A little bird?

[Uh oh...now that has certainly caught Diarmuid's attention and, unfortunately for England, Diarmuid has a bad case of the curious!]

Your friend has a pet bird? What kind is it?

[Maybe some day he will grow out of it...but probably not...]

[video]

[detective_shirogane]

Ah, I think I know which one you're talking about...

[That left Naoto to pondering.]

Well, would you rather work for an established business, or something created by guests?

[video]

[imanapexpredator]

Wait, people are just disappearing? Like, without a trace?

Video

[drank_the_milk]

...My girlfriend disappeared a few months ago.

[Video]

[unionjackoff]

I'm not sure, entirely. But it's small and yellow. [turns the screen to show Diarmuid]

[video]

[unionjackoff]

[blinks]

Yes. It happens every so often, but the disappearances have become more frequent lately.

[video]

[unionjackoff]

Anywhere I would fit in, I suppose. I do like having the spending money, though I don't believe I'm ready to take charge of an entire operation on my own.
